Appalachian Suite
The rich heritage of musical Americana is delightfully presented in three contrasting movements based on traditional folk songs from the Southern Appalachian Mountains. Â"At the Foot of Yonder MountainÂ" (G major), a beautiful pentatonic love ballad, is followed by the tender lullaby, Â"All the Pretty Little HorsesÂ" (E minor). A rollicking fiddle tune, Â"Sourwood MountainÂ" (G major), brings the work to a rousing close. Folk song tunes are distributed throughout all parts, giving everyone from Violin I down to String Bass a chance to shine on the melody. (5:30)
